Just wrote up a CIP that proposes a new Plutus Builtin, dropList. I think given how straightforward it is, it might be possible to fit into PlutusV3, but that's probably unlikely.

CIP-???? | New Plutus Builtin DropList by colll78 · Pull Request #767 · cardano-foundation/CIPs

We propose to introduce a new Plutus builtin dropList that drops a given number of elements from a BuiltInList. Currently, elemAt and drop must be implemented using fixed-point recursion and invoki...

Exactly this. If the contracts are not open-source (or BSL), the project is not trust-less. Users then have to trust that the project won’t rug them.

The no. 1 reason you open source your contracts is to show people you didn't include a backdoor in your project. If the dApp is not doing this, it is just as secure as a multisig, and it is not trustless.
